The first stop back on U.S. soil for American service members killed overseas is Dover Air Force Base in Delaware. It's where their families wait, where VIPs gather and where the honor guard is called.
America's fallen service members honored at Dover Air Force Base
It’s at this site where members of the Air Force mortuary affairs team have the solemn task of preparing the remains of America's war dead for burial. Every day is Memorial Day here.
"There's not another mission exactly like it in the military," said Maj. Matthew Knight, senior chaplain at Dover.
"We get to bring home our fallen with honor, and we get to keep America's promise. We want to ensure, whenever our fallen come through here, that they and their loved ones are shown dignity and respect."
